Brigham Young vs Adam

You believe Adam was made of the dust of this earth. This I do not believe, though it is supposed that it is so written in the Bible; but it is not, to my understanding. You can write that information to the States, if you please—that I have publicly declared that I do not believe that portion of the Bible as the Christian world do. I never did, and I never want to. What is the reason I do not? Because I have come to understanding, and banished from my mind all the baby stories my mother taught me when I was a child.

Brigham Young, 23 October 1853, Journal of Discourses 2:6

Young says Adam being made from the dust of the ground is “supposed” in the Bible and then says to his understanding it isn’t there! Let’s see what the Bible says (KJV—that’s the one LDS approves).

Genesis 2:7 And the LORD formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living soul. 

So immediately we see that Young was lying because the Bible does indeed say Adam was made of the “dust of the ground.”  He calls the idea of Adam being made from dust a “baby” story such as his mother taught him. Perhaps if he had paid attention to what his mother taught he would have learned the truth instead of becoming involved with a religion based on heresy, blasphemy, racism, and sexual immorality.
